McCALLUM.” HE long-suffering duffers of the bunker-bordered Nation are going to get a break at last in a reduction in the inflated prices of at least one item of golf equipment. One of the largest manufactur- ers of golf balls, who probably | ranks at least second in volumes of sales of golf balls, will announce within a few days a reduction of 10 cents per copy in the price of his golf balls. This probably will mean that the other large golf ball manufacturers will have to meet this price, and probably will be the opening wedge in a general down- ward revision in the price of golf balls. The reduction will be effective on De- cember 1, and will cut the price of balls | from 75 cents to 65 cents. How long the reduction will be in effect will not be stated in the announcement, but it will bring the standard price of a standard article below the price which has ob- tained for at least two decades. Ther® are several golf balls on the market at 50 cents, a few at $1 and at least one at 85 cents, but in the main the bulk of the golf balls sold over the counter re- tail at 75 cents. The price of golf balls has not kept pace with the inflated prices of other articles of golf equip- ment in recent years, which have soared far above their normal value, and golf balls are the first in the list of equip- ment to take a tumble in price. Twenty years ago, before the era of the steel shaft, you could step into your professional's shop and buy the finest | handmade wooden club in his collection | for $3. Iron clubs sold for $2. Along | came the steel shaft and machine methods of production and the prices | jumped up and up. Today a club with a | wooden head and a steel shaft sells in the better makes for $15, and a set of three—driver, brassie and spoon—sells | for $45. The sets of steel-shafted matched irons. which are s> much in vogue just now, sell for $10 apiece or $90 for a ‘set of nine, while the wooden- | shafted irons sell generally for $6 apiece. | v 'RS. PAUL RANSOM and Mrs. L. H. | Hedrick have tied for first place | in the ringer-score competition | among woman golfers of the Congres- | sional Country Club, both with selected scores of 72.

Low net prize went | to Mrs. Royce with 56, which won for her the Upham trophy. Mrs. Paul Muel- ler, Mrs. Garber, Mrs. H. Allen and Mrs. W. A. Angwin tied for second with net cards of 58.

FFICIALS of the Kenwood Golf and | Country Club today were complet- ing the returns from the National Capital open championship, which was concluded at the club Sunday after- noon. When returns are in from all the agencies which held tickets for sale | it is expected a report will be made on the money returned for the tourney. About $2,500 in cash was taken in at Kenwood on ticket sales at the club, | but thousands of tickets were sent to | the other gqQlf clubs and other spots | in and near Washington for the ad- | vance sale.

Stan N at least one phase of the bowling game a duckpinner could ask for no better “pro” to tell him what is the matter with his game than his pinboy. A back-room gossip session last night at the Lucky Strike produced weighty verification of the necessity of a certain amount of “stuff” on the ball ,from a member of a lightly re- garded but oftentimes the best in. formed clan in bowling—the pinsetters. Chester Bild, who rolled so well for Northeast Temple in the first block of its match with the National Pale Drys and then struggled in the last five games, sensed the reason was because lacked the proper “stuff,” “English.” After the match he questioned the pinsetter and his belief was vindicated. BUT the pinboy didn’t stop after telling Bild his ball lacked what is needed to do more than knock over the object pin. He volunteered the intormation that all star bowlers possess spin on the ball and that Brad- ley Mandley. in his opinion, has more than any other bowler. This particular pinsetter,, according to Bill Wood, manager of the Lucky Strike, often works during the National Capital and the District League matches, and his reason must bear some welght. ington’s stars roll in either or both of these circuits,. and he is afforded a chance to observe the reaction of their deliveries that is unexcelled. ILD'S relation of the boy's opinion created no little surprise last, night by a small gathering chewing the well known fat. Furthermore it acted as fuel for a discussion of past bowl- ing stars famous for their “stuff” on the ball Years ago a somewhat muysterious figure strolled into the old Palace alleys on E street. He wore a black cloak, high hat, cane and gloves. His name was “Count” Gengler. He involved himself in a few match games and lost a few dollary. Then, when the stars of that day began to feel they had a “sucker” on the hook, he began rolling. And did he trim ’em! Rivaling his ability to roll both duck- pins and tenpins was the “Count’s” remarkable ability to apply “English’ to both the little pin balls and the tenpin balls. O1e of his favorite tricks was to stand the Nos. 1 and 5 pins up, grasp a tenpin ball the same as he held a duckpin ball, and knock down No. 5 without touching the stick in front of Like a billiard_artist, he made the | 16 to 20 pound balls curve around No. | it. 1 and take away No. 5.
